Here is a more detailed rant:
Have I been enjoying this show? Hell yes. First 7 episodes just flew by and now I'm gonna watch ep 8. I didn't even read synopsis that well before watching because it seemed so cool. After watching some romantic comedies any action drama could pull me over and since Air City didn't have any seeders... I will NOT regret watching this drama. It really has become one of my favorites. Though it's early to say so, I'm not halfway yet but I have high expectations.
At first glance I thought I don't know cas at all but when I started watchin I saw so many familiar faces. The grandpa from Thank You is there. Man, I have missed him. Nice, silly and chocopie loving grandpa has turned into heartless loanshark. "heartless", nah he is quite nice. Actually I don't see that much difference between Thank You grandpa. And how small are his eayes exactly? How can a person have so small eyes? I also saw Lee Jae Yong in ep 6. I could instantly recognize him because of his voice. I love his voice. He didn't look as good as in Lobbyist but his charm was there. Some old actors are just too charming that you can't help but love them. Anyways, enough about old farts. I have found new face Shin Dong Wook (soulmate here I come, I just hafta watch it next). He is just too cute! Too beautiful to be true. I saw a poster of soulmate before and he looked really cute in it too. I never expected to see him... His role is really cool. Then Kim Jung Hwa, I don't like her eyebrows. She is not even that pretty but I guess she is an ok actress. I saw her in 1% of anything back then and she didn't give me any big impressions. Park Shin Yang <3 I just love him. He is prefect for this role. Maybe he isn't the most handsome man out there but he sure is a good actor. He has the charm, you just can't take your eyes from him. And for some reason he reminds me of Kang Ji Hwan. I dunno maybe their voices are similar or something. Because when I listen to Park Shin Yang I just keep thinking about Gil Dong. Park Jin-hee seems to be just another actress. I dunno. she reminds me of the main girl in What Happened in Bali. I was sure that I have seen Kim Hyeong-beom before but I really couldn't come up with it at all. Now I finally got it. He played the brother in WHIB! I like his acting. Such a funny man.
Unexpectedly there was a lot of happening in the first episodes. Usually Kdramas drag a bit in the start because they tned to have same schemes. It's always the same no matter what. There was this typical clichee in here as well. Main girl and guy always meet first time accidently and maybe get not so good imperssion about each other. Then they meet again when someone introduces them and this is the point when they may give each other some silly nicknames. But the moment when they are introduced is always the same "oh!" "oh!" "Hukshii... "Are you add nickanme"" "Do you two know each other?" "No, no we haven't met before"
I pity Na Ra. How can someone have so bad luck? Well, there were so many disgusting scenes. I really thought he was gonna eat that vomit. I had to even close my eyes. Well, he didn't eat it but how could he even touch it? "Thank's god it's over" I thought but of course they had to show it later as a flashback...Or that scene when he was searching for food in the carbage... ugh...
I thought this drama would be more serious but it has turned out cuite funny and enjoyable. Not much crying and a lot of action. I could compare War of Money to WHIB. There are a lot of similarities but I hafta say I like War of Money more. Even though motives of some characters are idiotic. First of all how could Joo Hee act so proudful? She had 100,000$ debt. WHAT PRIDE?!?!?!!!! Just grab any money you are able to get. And what about the loansharks. Yeah, go and humalitate her in public... How about going to her home and plaster those red things all over (isn't that what loansharks do? Or is it only in Japan?) Or what about Joo Hee an her dad selling everything, even their house and buying smaller apartment? That should be a lot of money alredy. No they walk around and act miserable but sleep well... Na Ra's sister was mean too. Just because he became a lonashark she decided to severe all ties... And what was he thinking first paying up Joo Hee's debt? I gotta say that gang menbers and loan sharks are too nice in this drama. Life is too bright. But that's also the part I like so guess complaining just seems confusing. Those loansharks who are harrassing Na Ra's sister aren't they working for Dong Po (what a name. Po, poo lol. And my age was?)? How come they haven't shown up at his ofice lately? Cha Yeon seems to be teh most `real´ character. At least she thinks rationally. I really can feel her paina nd I understand how difficult it's for her to forget Na Ra. No matter how hard she tries she just can't. Even though he was mean to her she just can't help but believe that he really loved her. I've been trough a smilar situation and when I saw it in this drama I was like OMO! NO WAY! I'm not alone. There is just this person I can't hate. No matter what I juts can't hate. can't... and it's pretty depressing.
I noticed that Na Ra is Korean superman #3. First one is superman of course, second is Harry from Lobbyist (not only because he got beaten up all the time but also because he could do anything). Na Ra is superman number 3 because he gets beaten up so many times but look at him? safe and sound. But it kind of makes me laught and think "You kind of deserved it getting involved" I like his character a lot. Still I keep thinking he is too nice or thinks too much. He should be more carefree and act more stupid (to fool everyone).
Epsiode 8 HERE I COME! Please take care of me!
but i catch some scenes in this drama and Park Jin Hee acting is ..... no comment 
Sorry for the double post.
